Pretty little bugger isn’t he? Ahh, one of the hardest parts of the backyard flock - having to rehome a pretty little rooster without involving freezer camp. Our neighbor has had a rooster for six months or so. That one is pretty good though, I have never heard him crow while it is dark. This guy is not crowing yet. Hopefully I will be able to enjoy him for a bit longer.

This one has to be a pullet. She has virtually no comb and should have a fairly large one next year.

This one I have no idea. S/he has gotten bitchy in the last week and has started picking feathers off the other chickens. This bird needs a good hard peck to the head.

This is the sweetest chicken. She is always jumping up on me. Once she even got onto my shoulder when I was standing up! Such a cutie. I am pretty sure that a cockerel would have a really large comb by now.

This Welsummer has been the tallest from the first few days. She is still a really big chicken. The Delaware is fluffy big and Peanut (the Sussex) is so small.
